recognition...relief......regret

ok, so yesterday afternoon, as i was pulling out of the back parking lot, i glanced in my rearview mirror, and recognized, with horror....2 'young people' of my aquaintance........pulling out of the front lot......it all made sense...one of the nurses had commented how she had just provided birth control to a lovely high school girl .....well, there she was in my rear view mirror, with someone i have known forever hanging all over her.....and then i felt relief.......because they had the sense to take precautionary measures...........but the more i thought about it, i did feel a sense of regret...for the woman in question....who has so much potential (it would be mean to say that the young man in question has less potential, so i won't say that).....just know that this young lady has unusually promising qualities......and could be utilizing her time so much more wisely than on this young man.....ah well....suffice it to say that confidentiality covers their privacy......but not the sadness in my heart that i feel for this girl, and for her parents who have no clue
